Suggestions for our trip to Spain

We are planning our honeymoon for 9 days in Spain in mid-September. We are in our late 20s. I have been skimming my guidebook and searching countless websites, and I am just having a lot of trouble deciding on only a few places! Originally, the idea was to start at a beach resort for 2-3 days, then head to Barcelona. Now we have a few extra days on the end of our trip. so I wanted to add a 3rd destination. And we might want the "resort" one to involve a little more afterall!. We tried to do 3 cities in Italy last year with only a 7 day trip, and it was a little too rushed. Plus, we want our honeymoon to be a more relaxed trip.

My top picks so far are: Barcelona, Madrid, San Sebastian/Bilbao, Valencia, Sevilla, or Alicante. We love hip cities, food, wine, beer, outdoors, architecture, hiking, swimming, and amazing views. We are not so much into the museum or cathedral scene, though we will probably choose a few major ones to see over the course of the trip. We will be traveling primarily by rail. I was also starting to look into some coves or Algar Waterfalls as a possibility, instead of a traditional beach, during the first 2 relaxation days.

Please let me know what you think would be the most appropriate for us to see/do. I'm so excited! Thanks in advance!

It does begin to get cooler in San Sebastion though, if that is a concern.

Barcelona sounds like a perfect city for you for at least three or four days. Though it is a cathedral, a must see is Gaudi's Sagrada Familia because it is also unique and wonderful architecture. There are many other examples of unique architecture in Barcelona. There are interesting restaurants also.

With nine days, you could add a couple of other places for two or three days each, though you must consider travel times to each. You don't want to spend more time traveling than seeing and experiencing.

San Sebastián's weather in September is ideal beach weather. It's much cooler in July on most days. The average daytime temperature in mid-September is 24ºC - 75ºF, warmer then July's average. It does normally start to cool down by mid-October.

So based on recommendations, I am thinking either Valencia, Barcelona, San Sebastian, or vice versa. There is a tour we are interested in from Valencia that would force that to be either the first or last city. It seems to be easier to fly into San Sebastian first, as flights are cheaper into Bilbao. We would arrive at dinnertime, stay the night there to get over our jetlag, see the Guggenheim in the morning, then head straight to San Sebastian for the rest of the day and one additional day. Problem is it seems really tough to get to Barcelona. By train it is a good 6-7 hours and would eat up the better part of a travel day. Is it difficult to take a within country flight? Or is there any other way to make that journey?
We might scrap that and stay in only Barcelona and Valencia or pick a 3rd city closer to the two. Thoughts?
We also think we want to see some wineries, so if there is a place nearby that would be a good jumping off point with easy transit to a winery, let me know.
Thanks so much for all your help!
